Distributors reviewing their Meta 2 range usually find that distribution channels explains most of the variance in results between accounts.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind distribution channels: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Why distribution channels matters on the Meta 2
Specialist shops support higher service expectations and wider flavour ranges.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Meta 2 economics actually settle.
Convenience channels favour simple formats and fast rotation.
